Dr Andrew A Marchetti of Georgetown University told 400 obstetricians a study of 300 women aged 35 to 44 found no maternal deaths, indicating older women can have safe births with proper care though miscarriage risk is slightly higher. All 300 had no prior births, correcting misconceptions about age and pregnancy safety.

Kansas Senator Breaks With the On Farm Issue
Washington United Press reports Senator Frank Carlson of Kansas, a longtime Eisenhower ally, broke with the administration on farm policy. He backs 90 percent parity supports for wheat this year and a two price system, challenging administration and Benson. Carlson and other wheat state senators aim to insert a two price provision into a Senate omnibus farm bill, expecting mixed votes and eventual passage of 90 percent supports for millable wheat. The plan also includes a $1.1 billion soil bank and a two price scheme for rice, with higher supports for other crops.
